Brilliant speech.

I don’t have the cache to write this but someone please do a think piece on how the rise and consequent backlash against chalamet are byproducts of people creating parasocial relationships with a public figure who initially did not get a ton of interview time on the global stage.

HIGH FIVE TO BC FOR GOING PERMA DST.

What in the fucking time dilation is the year 2026.

This is why we don’t hand this shit to ai. RIP, hero.

This sounds like it will give me nightmares and I can’t wait to read it.

ST VALENTINE is the holy guardian of lovers but not many people know that after death his skull became a decorated floral relic, one of the most gothic items to be found in a Roman reliquary. Shown here in the Basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin #ValentinesDay

Awesome books. Awesome charity. Remember to bump up the donation from the default to make the donation substantive.

Hey #wotskies I created free printable Wheel of Time Valentine cards. It’s my Valentine to all of the wot fans who gave me some joy during crap times. They’re formatted for A4 or US Letter/ P4 in pdf Print at home or copy paste images from the pdfs. Do what you want. ko-fi.com/s/0d35e559a7

Are you a fan of radiation? Do you have a fetish for living in confined spaces? Does fresh air make you barf? Join our moon team!

A classic. Destroyed by words.

Faking an Epstein email so you can make a dig at someone who’s already in the files is a supreme loser move and fucking disrespectful to all of the JE survivors and all of the people who are wading through this morass of sewage to try and do something meaningful with it.

Just because rats are fleeing a sinking ship, doesn’t mean they won’t bite you during their escape.

I don’t usually listen to ambient, but am glad I gave this a go. It made my head pulse.

25 Favorite Moments from this past year. Perfect rainbow alignment over the Chicago Skyline in June.

Have reached my final form: eating cold tamales in bed

This one goes down in the diary as “a holiday worthy of 2025.”

These photos do not communicate how claustrophobic Newgrange is. It’s single file to get through the passage and you have to crouch because the people who built it were shorter than us. That aspect of the design makes the solstice light even more remarkable. (Not for anyone with claustrophobia)

I had to take a 20 min break in the middle of watching the first Avatar and only returned to the theater bc my date was inside. I can’t fathom the strength of will it took to watch these multiple times. Great writing.

The first time I laughed in a week. Read if only for the details on the flambé table.

Stop saying Sanderson is going to finish asoiaf. That idea has no grounding in reality. Staaaaaaapitttttt.

Would read a 5 book fantasy series starting with this discovery

Woke up immediately knowing how to use season 1 of the wheel of time as flashbacks —starting the show in season 2. How is everyone else. Why does my brain do that.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Thousands of creatures of the night have taken over the streets of major cities, demanding their jobs back😱 @wotseries.com #savewot #thewheeloftime #wotskies @unraveling.bsky.social The testimonies are shocking! Watch the full report here 📺👇

Starting to look at 2026 releases and it looks like april/may will be a great time for fantasy /scifi readers to ignore all social invitations unless they involve a group of people eating snacks whilst reading. New James S.A Corey! Very excited about the followup to The Mercy of Gods.

I’m now plotting an entire romance novel about an ambassador and chef that is 60% based upon this video. Well played, Norway.

Watching this while I eat dill pickles and asking myself if the wheel of time says never to trust a skinny innkeeper, would it also say always trust a ripped chef? Yes. Yes, it would.

The fantasy and fashion posts are so bittersweet. So many details I’ve missed. Like the fact that the white cloaks have a broken snake interwoven with their sun emblem. (If that’s in the books I don’t remember bc I skimmed a lot in those povs) SUCH AMAZING VISUAL STORYTELLING #wotskies

If you see your favourite indies, especially those who are wide or avoid Amazon, raise their prices... We all just had two emails in less than 24h: - Smashwords is cutting down its royalty rates, especially at lower price points - Ingramspark is raising most of its printing costs again

How’s today going? Bought noise isolating headphones. The only good thing about noise cancelling giving me vertigo and nausea is that noise isolating is less expensive.

Got to see SM sing it live. A treat.

I am now a person who makes excel spreadsheets on Saturday night. What

Very grateful that this house is eating bagels for breakfast and then going about the day as usual.

If this is what gets people to stop using ai slop? GOOD.

Been bumping my head against my laptop all day. This was exactly what I needed to read to gather a little clarity and move forward. A restorative for the creative spirit.

When you haven’t seen someone in 20 years it is very weird bc you feel like they’re wearing a scooby doo mask

All great stories share one special ingredient. Epic Fantasy? Steamy Romance? Hard SciFi? Look carefully and you'll find it: someone getting hit with a briefcase full of bees.

Roadtrip progression: Night 1: read in bed after dinner Night 2: write in bed with protein bars Night 3: Eat cheese & chips in bed and watch tv. Never been so excited to see roadhouse

Sharon Gilham posted that if the exhibition for wheel of time costumes does well in Prague, it will travel. I can’t afford to go to Europe but I bought a ticket bc I dream of seeing that magic in person. FYI the price= 350 kr = 17 usd goout.net/en/fashion-and-fantasy/szowoay #wotskies

I don’t understand this thing in new fantasy books in which places have names (usually borrowed from welsh, gaelic etc) that mimic euro-style high fantasy but then the character have modern names like McCoy or Armstrong as given names. Somebody please explain.

“It’s ok I’ll put it in a book” is a super healthy way to disassociate when people continually tell you appalling things and also think they’re being funny

Oooh, good idea! Where can people do that again? I don't have the link. #WheelofTime #savewot

Every ad now

Giggles like a ten year old

It’s an absolute treat to watch someone like skeet the wheel of time for first viewing just waiting for the big reveals and character arcs. Ahhhh!

Part of my writing process is organizing fridges and pantries while I think out sentences. Since I do not have my own fridge or pantry this can get awkward.

Probably shouldn’t have consumed my weight in toblerone especially before bed oh well. Consequences are for tomorrow
